Processing Time

Most orders ship the same business day, but please allow up to 72 business hours (3 days not including weekends or holidays) to ship your order. If we expect your order to ship later than three (3) days after placing your order we will contact you. If your order is placed after 2 PM central time, your order will begin processing the next business day. If you need your order shipped ASAP and placed in the front of the processing queue, you must select UPS 3 Day Select, UPS 2nd Day Air, or UPS Next Day Air Saver. Once your order is shipped, your delivery date will depend on the shipping method, which is unrelated to the processing time.

Shipping & Handling

For orders less than five hundred and fifty (550) pounds and individual items less than one hundred and fifty (150) pounds, our standard method of shipment is UPS. If your order exceeds five hundred and fifty (550) pounds, an individual item exceeds one hundred and fifty (150) pounds, or the item is too large to ship via UPS you will be presented with TBD freight options. Please follow the prompts to select the correct options.

Our standard shipping is UPS Ground. Please see the map above to determine approximate transit time to your location (not including processing time). If you would like expedited shipping, please call before you order to verify the items are in stock. Shipping charges are an estimate only and may be adjusted due to UPS rates, and/or packaging restrictions. We will use all measures to keeping shipping costs low. All orders are shipped in full. Orders with back-ordered items will ship once stock is replenished.
